Wally Backman Brooklyn Cyclones Video

Hopefully Matt over at Metsblog will forgive me for just posting the video rather than a link but it seemed easier to just post the video.

Now that you’ve watched it, go visit Metsblog so we can all have good ‘netiquette.

Housekeeping: looks like while I was tidying up the site I deleted the links to other sites. I’ll put those back up. If you’d like your site included just drop me a note at shannon@metspolice.com I know I appreciate when people send traffic over here, happy to reciprocate and help newer blogs grow.

Back to Wally, doesn’t this just make you feel warm and fuzzier about all things Mets? More please.

Some Questions From The Brooklyn Cyclones Survey

Since everyone is hopped up about Brooklyn today, it seems like a good day to share this one.

The Cyclones recently did a survey. For the most part they were collecting demographic information, and some questions about what newspaper you read and what radio station you like (presumably so they can better allocate their marketing budget).

I thought the questions below were interesting as it demonstrates that they want to serve their fanbase better.

Before we get to the survey, is it me or do you not see as man Cyclones caps as you used to? I also preferred the original uniforms to the current font. Maybe I will see if I can wake up fellow Mets Policeman Dan to do an article about that.

When deciding to attend a Cyclones home game, which of the following factors have the greatest influence on your purchase decision? (Please select up to three)

In general, does the Cyclones W/L record affect your decision to purchase tickets?

	Yes
	No
	N/A

Alternate New York Mets Caps Day 34

There are many worlds. Here on the 34th day of this series (for now) I will take you to an alternate world. In this world, the New York Giants and their 16 pennants proudly play at Citi Field, home of the Mel Ott Rotunda.

Meanwhile, in San Francisco, the Seals came into the league in 1962.

Five Questions For An Average Mets Fan (Fan #2)

Next up, average Mets fan Tracey:

1. When did you start following the Mets?

I guess around 1993-94. That’s when I started to pay attention to sports.

2. What is your favorite Mets memory?

The Braves game where they scored 9 runs in the 8th inning capped by Piazza’s 2 run homer. I was at the game with my family and we sat next to this Yankee fan (typical). I remember him saying that Yankee stadium never rocked like Shea did.

3. What is your worst Mets memory or experience?

Last year, seeing a half demolished Shea Stadium. It was the first time in 3 years that I was in NY and I realized that another piece of my childhood was soon to be gone.

4. If you could change one off-field thing about the franchise what would it be?

The owners.

5. If you owned the team starting tomorrow, what is the first thing you would change?

I would buy out Perez’s contract, trade Castillo or buy him out too ( I would be Jerry Jones rich enabling me to do this), sign Lackey & Holliday, trade for Brandon Phillips and sign a Marquis, Piniero type or take a risk with Harden or Sheets. All of that in the first day. Day 2 will be dimensions, uniforms and more Mets stuff around the park. LOL.

Thanks Tracey! Keep ’em coming. email your answers to shannon@metspolice.com

New York Mets Offer Season Ticket Holders A "Behind The Scenes" Tour

More benefits for season ticket holders. This one much cooler than the $9 off on McCartney. Y’all might want to loosen up on the “one invite per seat” rule – say i had two seats, would it really kill you if I brought both kids?
